I love postage stamp quilts!!! This one I call my "Wilderness Quilt". I totally hand pieced this quilt during a time when we were in a transition stage for our family and I needed to keep my hands busy. My goal was to use recurring fabrics but to not have any identical blocks - but I do have two blocks that are the same. My children and some of their friends would make nine-patch combinations for me, so it became a family project. I have not yet quilted it - not sure what design I want to use - any suggestions? And I had other projects take first place so the top has been set aside. I was blogging and one of my favorite blogs is "Inspired by Antique Quilts" and when I saw Kathie's postage stamp nine-patches I just had to share. I thought I was seeing double!!! Way to go Kathie!!! My second daughter is stitching a postage stamp quilt like yours and she does it in small sections, too.
Blessings!!!
P.S.
Kathie just made a clarification for me! My nine patch is not a true postage stamp quilt, but a nine patch made with small squares! Thanks Kathie

Wow, that was a big project for hand piecing! I love it!
I also follow Kathie's blog and your quilt does remind me of her postage stamp quilt.
What an awesome quilt!!! Hand pieced? Wow!
How about baptist fans?
